Re: Netscape seems to default to Postscript(tm of Adobe), but I don't have a postscript printer
Konqueror prints fine, but netscape
prints in postscript and I see just
the text which composes the postscript
being printed, not the rasterized image.
I did find some documentation:
http://www.cups.org/documentation.php
Also found a tutorial.
I'll post if I figure it out.
Thanks.
